Racing Bulls ignites excitement with thrilling two-day shakedown of new F1 challenger at Imola

Racing Bulls Roars into Action with Thrilling Two-Day Shakedown for New F1 Contender!

In a highly anticipated move, Racing Bulls has officially kicked off a two-day shakedown for its exhilarating new Formula 1 challenger, the VCARB 03, as the motorsport world eagerly counts down to the first pre-season testing at the iconic Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya next week. After unveiling their striking new livery in Detroit alongside their powerhouse siblings, Red Bull, the team is poised to make a significant impact in the upcoming season.

F1 enthusiasts are buzzing as the pre-season testing is set to ignite on the legendary track, marking the beginning of a thrilling journey that will also see two additional testing sessions held in Bahrain next month. However, the Faenza-based squad, under the astute leadership of Alan Permane, is not leaving anything to chance. They are determined to ensure their new car is fully operational and primed for action well before the competitive spirit kicks in.

On Tuesday, Racing Bulls will utilize a ‘demonstration event’ clause within the regulations, allowing them a brief 15-kilometer run of the VCARB 03 — a maneuver typically reserved for marketing showcases. But that’s just the appetizer! Wednesday promises to be far more expansive as they tap into filming days, a luxury afforded to teams twice a season. This allows young guns Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad to clock in an impressive 200 kilometers each, albeit on special non-race Pirelli compounds.

After clinching an impressive sixth place in the F1 Constructors’ Championship last season, Racing Bulls is ready to elevate their game. Liam Lawson, now at the helm, is set to embark on his first full season with the team, having made a dramatic return after a brief stint with Red Bull in 2025, which followed two memorable fill-in roles for Daniel Ricciardo in 2023 and 2024. Meanwhile, the talented Arvid Lindblad is stepping up from Formula 2, courtesy of the team’s robust junior program, marking his entry as F1’s sixth British driver — a notable feat as he joins the elite ranks under a British entry.

The two-day shakedown is strategically taking place at the nearby Imola circuit, a mere 19 miles from the team’s base, making it a perfect venue for this critical evaluation phase. As the engines roar and the adrenaline surges, Racing Bulls is not just testing a car; they are igniting the passion of fans worldwide.

Stay tuned as this thrilling saga unfolds, and witness firsthand how Racing Bulls prepares to conquer the track in what promises to be an electrifying season of Formula 1 racing!
